Amazon has closed its Amazon Smile program, effective Feb 20, 2023. You can learn more about their decision here. There are still SO many ways you can support WinterKids…

You Shop. Amazon Gives!

AmazonSmile is the same Amazon you know. Same products, same price, same service (and yes, your Prime benefits still work too!)

The big difference is that, when shopping at AmazonSmile, Amazon donates .5% of the price of your eligible purchases to the charitable organization of your choice.

Remember to Go to Smile.Amazon.com Every Time You Shop Amazon

In order for WinterKids to benefit from your purchases, they must be made at AmazonSmile. Here are some ways you can remember to go to AmazonSmile (instead of Amazon.com) every time you shop:

  • Use the AmazonSmile Bookmark: if you’re using Google Chrome, THIS BUTTON can be installed on your browser menu.
  • Bookmark THIS LINK using any browser (how to bookmark varies by browser)
  • Go old school, and simply type “smile.amazon.com” into your browser.

No matter how you get there, just be sure the text below the search bar says you are supporting WinterKids Education Foundation. The drop-down option there will allow you to quickly update this if it doesn’t.
